Cookie Balloons

made these for my daughter's birthday. sugar cookies with royal icing. the 2's are cookies iced separately, then glued on with royal icing. i used regular sucker sticks, attached with very thick royal icing - worked like magic, none fell off. the ribbons were a different story - broke 5 while tying them on!! i was not sure how to arrange them, was not so happy with the overall look, but it was a great success
